“Sojourner”
Love spurned
She climbs the ladder of her tears
To a hidden place
A piece of her is buried here
It is all she has left
She turns her back on fate
And prays the pain will mold her
She is indigo in heart and soul
A mystery bubbling at the surface
And when you are loved by her
It is serendipity kissed with longing
Yet she is turned away time and time again
An orphaned heart bursting with beautiful love
She wonders who will carry her on
Yet she knows it will never be
Lady of the lost affections
She wakes in thick loneliness
A beauty without admirers
Oh endless soul
She longs to be free
And she walks on…
